Answer to Question 1

A
Making a dramatic change in one's adult life prevents an individual from becoming dormant in his or her daily life. People who are unhappy tend to develop mental health disorders.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
These symptoms are often noted in elderly patients with depression. Somatic symptoms are often present but missed by nurses as related to depression. Anorexia, rather than hyperphagia, is seen in major depression. Low self-esteem is more often associated with major depression.
